The Waves

The story of one woman through the birth of her first and second babies and in to the benign and beautiful detail of one day in her life as a mother of two, contrasted by the dark underbelly of her postpartum depression. The Waves explores birth and early motherhood through text, movement, and a unique sonic experience that stretches the boundaries of vocal expression on stage.

Part of the SummerWorks Lab programming – a place for exploration, experimentation, and process. In the Lab, you can experience new works in development from artists exploring new possibilities in performance.
